Strip Tease Murder (also known as Striptease Murder) is a low budget 1961 British second feature[1] film thriller directed by Ernest Morris and starring John Hewer and Ann Lynn.[2] It was written by Paul Tabori and produced by The Danzigers.
Diana, a stripper, collapses and dies during a dance routine on stage at the Flamingo Club. When her death is ruled to be due to natural causes, her husband, comedian and compere Bert Black, turns detective to investigate when he discovers suspicious circumstances but the police are not convinced and refuse to pursue the matter. Black comes to suspect Diana was killed accidentally rather than the person who was the real target and sets out to prove it.
